Re: (.:FrankRizzo:.)

My girlfriend and I bought our first guitars today.
Hers - Fender Sonora SCE
Mine - Fender T-Bucket 300CE
A friend of mine does lessons and is hooking us up. Half price plus some beer. We're heading over for our first lesson in a bit with some New Castle. Can't wait

Picked up my first guitar. Yamaha Pacifica 112V with 1 humbucker and 2 single coils. Old Violin Sunburst in color with a white pick guard and rosewood fingerboard.
Got it with a 15W Fender practice amp. I'm really happy with both so far, just practicing scales and chords and playing to a click track. My brother's been playing for 20 years so I've got my share of material available for learning.
Also, since I got this, I've been having more fun with my Peavey bass guitar as well

yea the decent ones are kinda hard to find. i also just picked up a SX jazz copy lefty for 70 bucks, that thing plays great and good through a tube, might upgrade the pickups but other than that its an amazing deal

Re: (A Gruesome Time)

I totally forgot I had this - I was visiting my parents and they asked me if i wanted my "speaker" back.
yes please! (not my pic)
Marshall Master Lead Combo 5010, 30w amp, 12" Celestion Speaker, 75w capable.
It's a solid-state amp that sounds pretty good until you want it "loud". Terrific for recording, not so great for cranking it.
I used to double-mic it, front and back (rear mic phase reverse).

Can you give the gear whores like me a rundown on all the pedals and rack? I can see a danelectro pedals,korg rack tuner, an ibanez pedal (hoping its a ts808), ernie ball volume pedal,m9, boss ns2? and a perhaps a super chorus? please correct me if im wrong

Re: FV-QR (derock85z)

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics it's all I have for now!
Finally caved in and traded my Traynor YCS100 head with the matching 4x12 cabinet for this 2006 US deluxe Strat. I really didn't need a half stack and I'm really happy with my new guitar!
2006 Godin LG Signature with the stock seymour duncan jazz neck PU and a DiMarzio ToneZone bridge PU
Ibanez RGT42DX with a DiMarzio X2N bridge PU
and my 7-string Ibanez AX7221 that used to be a bland shade of grey... I stripped the paint off and refinished it in tung oil
All this played through a POD X3 and a crappy 20Watt epiphone bass amp. I'm thinking of building a tube amp based on a Marshall 18watt as a project this spring/summer.

Re: FV-QR (Michael Blue)

Yeah the picture doesn't really do it justice though!! I love that guitar... the les paul inspired body shape, a sweet and somewhat beefy mahogany neck that plays like a dream (it's a 25 1/2 inch scale C shaped neck, so it feels similar to the Strat's neck although the fingerboard radius is flatter). 2 humbuckers with 5-way switch, locking tuners, yada yada it's a really versatile guitar.

Re: (dolemite)

Thanks!
Its just retarded how loud the Hiwatt is, i cant imagine how the 100watter is
Pedals are.. (L-->R)
EB volume pedal (used as an expression for the IPS-33B)
Skruffy Fuzz (my DIY fuzzface with mods)
Toadworks Mr. Squishy Compressor
Bender Buffer (DIY buffer)
The other 2 items are the R2Du footswitch and the foot controller for the IPS-33B..

Re: (Satur9)

A huge mess... but stuff should come together in the next few weeks.
Need bass traps, some diffusors, and some furniture.
What's here:
3x screens (4th on the way, have to re-jig the layout)
Korg M1
VXT4's (pair)
10S Sub
Jerker Desk
And most importantly - Computer is in a different room so i can't hear a thing!!!

Re: (gtifly)

Not a very good picture of it, but this is my kit:
Specs:
1957 (Chicago badged) Slingerland
-22x16 kick
-13x9 rack
-16x16 floor
Snare(pictured): 1963 Ludwig Pioneer 14x6(6lug)
Snare(that I actually play with): Pork Pie Big Black Bob 14x6.5(8 lug)
Cymbals:
-21" Zildjian Sweet Ride
-20" Vintage Zildjian Ride(1974) (used as crash in this pic)
-14" Meinl hand-hammered hats
(Not pictured)
-19" Meinl Crash
-18" Meinl China
I love my kit! I use all Remo heads and Vic Firth X5Bs. As far as hardware goes, I have all Ludwig stands excluding my hats, which is a DW5000(not in this picture) and my kick pedals are DW7000s.
I've been playing for 13 years and this is my 4th kit and definitely the best one I have ever owned! I love solid shell kits sooooooo much! [IMG]http://**********************/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://**********************/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]

Re: (dolemite)

I like your set-up dolemite.
I'll have to take some new pictures of what I've been playing out with and recording with lately.
Just got the reissue A/DA Flanger from musictoyz and it is ****ing badass, combined with the moog ring mod and maxon analog delay...forget about it!
I run stereo amps as well. - small tubers.
Can't get enough of my PRS lately, either.

Re: (VOLKSATAN)

Thanks, its crazy for putting some effects after the delay in one branch and then different pedals in the other branch, I can run one clean and compressed and the other dirty, this is way more fun than another old pedal
